An even bigger problem is that too many Chinese students are still choosing to go to the US, UK or Australia to study. This is extremely dangerous because these people then go back to China with their heads full of neoliberal ideology and west-worship, especially in neoliberal elitist cesspools like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, or, god forbid, Yale. Even the “ideal” scenario in which these people choose to stay in the West and don’t become a fifth column in China, it still represents brain drain for China. China needs to start treating this as a critical national security issue, because it is.
Wouldn’t count on that too much, we don’t really like giving research grants either. I mean research just generates knowledge and how has that ever benefitted anyone?
Seriously though, I don’t know why, but apparently they’re quite hard to come by.

Any int student blocked from Harvard is gonna just jump to another US top uni. Even if that’s banned there’s Oxbridge, EP, ANU, etc.

It is harder from what I’ve heard, but mostly because you need to know who to ask to grease the gears (someone who went to Eton et al, probably)
